I have to admit I really dislike this show. I dislike it even more since it seems to be becoming increasingly popular. It is somewhat cute but not funny, and its cuteness borders on obnoxious. It is a failed experiment in humor and a decade or so out of style with its reliance on a laugh track.
In this weeks episode there were a few things stick out in my mind: Every joke they make, they make at least twice. They revealed the identity of Barney's father to distract the audience from the frustrating lack of progress on the HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER front. The producers also stubbornly cling to the outdated entertainment fashion of jamming a moral into each episode and down the viewer's throat. Leave it to Leave it to Beaver. As it is, I found this episode's moral of acceptance of ideological concessions annoying. In general, this show annoys me, and in particular this episode stinks.
Episode Rate:
2 (Not worth watching)
